HB ipa. Not my favorite style but have a six pack of bottles to drink up before it starts going to hell on me. I’d make one again though!

That's awesome. Love brewing styles I don't like. Kudos! Keep it up.

My 1st was a Gose. Gin/lime gose to be exact. 1st sample was "Yep, taste like fermented urine". But after a month was pretty good.
 
@TwistedGray Winter Warmer cider? Ginger? Digging it bro! Well sh!t, just realized what my Tavour package cost...I only remember getting like 5??View attachment 645100View attachment 645103

Trader Joe's cider diluted a bit; otherwise, the spices are too much.

@TwistedGray Cider. The 1776 kinda foamed over so another HB IPA it isView attachment 645201View attachment 645202

Yeah some of the 1776's came out perfectly carb'd and others completely garbage with floaties. I thought I pulled one of the only remaining good ones...apparently I was wrong, sorry.
 
I’m guessing the flavor I’m getting might be a combination of improper water chemistry and the sour stout addition.
It’s a “basic” dry stout recipe—
5 gallon batch
60 minute mash
60 minute boil
6 lbs 2 oz Maris Otter
1 lb 12 oz flaked barley
1 lb black barley (500 °L)
2 oz EKG (6.1%) 60 minutes
That's a lot of 500l. Maybe you should scale that back. Possibly getting acrid taste from using so much of it?
 
My HB Belgian Tripel clone, which is supposed to be like Westmalle Trappist Ale, is absolutely nothing like the original; in spite of that, I've made it now about 6-7 times and I love it. I tweaked it a bit so it's riding around 11.5%. Still really early but I would be fine if it never got any better (supposed to improve up to a year in the bottle).
Note: it is a number of shades lighter than in the photo. It actually has a golden-yellow hue. And I hit that gravity with two packs of dry yeast (T-58 and M-41) with no creaming. Very proud. Very proud.

I think ASB does blueberry sours better, but this was still nice; thanks @TBC

Beer looks great and nice balancing act but, more importantly, is that your cat? A cat that can be trusted outdoors? Would be quite a coincidence for it to be a stray passing through. If so, you get kudos for a one in a million shot.
Love cats. Two thumbs up. Does your cat have a brother/sister/playmate?
Love dogs also but a bit too much work at the moment.
 
Nice. I love some good cheese. I don’t have the packaging for these so I can’t tell you more details. Do you make cheese? I’ve seen some threads on here talking about it. I may try it one day.
I live in Detroit and we have a place called Eastern Market. There's a shop that has at least 200 kinds of cheese. It's a treasure.
